Dear Members, As many of you would have observed, of late, LIS-Forum discussion list was behaving bit erratically. One of the main issues was that, the approved messages were taking more than 3-4 days to reach the members' inboxes! I have now installed a latest version of the discussion list software (Mailman) on a different computer system with better hardware configuration. Hopefully, the list should resume its normal functioning. Its quite likely that a few of the approved postings from the old system, which is now off the network, may not have been distributed. If you have made a lis-forum posting during the last week, or so, you are welcome a make a fresh posting once again. Note: LIS-Forum postings should be made only to, lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Best regards, Francis Moderator, LIS-Forum Francis Jayakanth JRD Tata Memorial Library IISc

Those that learn to deal with it effectively have a major advantage in the next few years. Information Overload is when you are trying to deal with more information than you are able to process to make sensible decisions. The result is either that you either delay making decisions, or that you make the wrong decisions. It is now commonplace to be getting too many e-mails, reports and incoming messages to deal with them effectively. Read the post <http://netaddiction.com/digital-natives/> *Leading quality engineering into the New* Accenture is evolving testing into a pervasive, real-time, and insight-driven quality engineering function, augmented by AI-led autonomous frameworks. In this paper we explain how across five dimensions—data, frameworks, process, technology, and the organization—testing will shift away from the traditional approaches towards new ideas and new methodologies fit for the application engineering world of tomorrow. Learn more about some of our innovations (protected by 250+ patents and pending patent applications) and our quality engineering vision to help clients be future ready in an increasingly complex technological environment.

The revised Code of Ethics addresses the significant advances in computing technology and the growing pervasiveness of computing in all aspects of society since it was last updated in 1992. ACM’s Code of Ethics is considered the standard for the computing profession, and has been adopted by computing professionals, organizations and technology companies around the world. ACM expects all of its nearly 100,000 members from 190 countries to abide by the ACM Code of Ethics and to make a commitment to engage in ethical professional conduct. The ACM Code of Ethics is a collection of principles and guidelines designed to help computing professionals make ethically responsible decisions in professional practice. It translates broad ethical principles into concrete statements about professional conduct. This update of the ACM Code of Ethics expresses the experiences, values, and aspirations of computing professionals around the world, and it captures the conscience of the profession. It affirms an obligation of computing professionals, both individually and collectively, to use their skills for the benefit of society. ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct <https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics> *SHOCK CLAIM: Robots will have babies with humans in 100 years * HUMANS and robots will be able to conceive and have children within 100 years, according to a leading expert. Read the story <https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/894789/sex-doll-robot-david-levy-lov…> *Beer, yoga and robots: step into the smarter, more connected office* As technology enables increased flexibility, more workers are renting a slice of Silicon Valley-style workplace culture. Franz Kafka hated his day job as an insurance officer. “Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror,” he wrote in a 1912 letter to his friend, Felice Bauer. For Kafka, the office was a place of suffering, where he spent days chained to a desk, shuffling interminable sheaves of paper filled with the grim details of industrial workers who lost fingers or limbs in workplace accidents. For the rest of the 20th century, for most people, Kafka’s vision of the office as a place to be endured and not enjoyed would strike a chord. But in the past few years, things have changed dramatically. Now, co-working spaces with free beer on tap, nightly networking events and yoga sessions are springing up in cities all over the world. WeWork, the largest of them, has 253 offices in 22 countries and a valuation of $20bn. Its motivational mugs tell members to “always do what you love”. Co-working isn’t just being embraced by small businesses, attracted by the prospect of flexible leases and a community of entrepreneurs into which they can immerse themselves. Increasingly, large corporate clients are moving into fashionable co-working spaces to tap into a little of the spirit. Read the full post <https://www.theguardian.com/the-power-of-people/2018/jul/10/beer-yoga-and-r…> *How Kodak Failed* There are few corporate blunders as staggering as Kodak’s missed opportunities in digital photography, a technology that it invented. This strategic failure was the direct cause of Kodak’s decades-long decline as digital photography destroyed its film-based business model. Kodak management’s inability to see digital photography as a disruptive technology, even as its researchers extended the boundaries of the technology, would continue for decades. Read the story <https://www.forbes.com/sites/chunkamui/2012/01/18/how-kodak-failed> *Google Spent a Decade Researching What Makes a Great Boss. They Came Up With These 10 Things* "People leave managers, not companies." We've all heard it. Many of us have experienced it. But what makes people want to leave a manager in the first place? And if you happen to lead a team, what qualities can make you better? Those are the types of questions Google set out to answer. In 2008, they began research into what makes a good manager, code-named Project Oxygen. They originally identified eight behaviours that were common among their highest performing managers, and began training all managers to develop those behaviours. Over time, Google saw a marked improvement in key metrics such as employee turnover, satisfaction, and performance. But as the company grew, the demands on managers also increased. Google continued their research. They refined it. They learned more. "We found that, over time, the qualities of a great manager at Google had grown and evolved with along with the company," wrote Melissa Harrell and Lauren Barbato earlier this year. Harrell works as a staffing services manager and Barbato as a people analyst. After taking a second look at its research, Google then "refreshed [its] behaviours according to internal research and Google and [employee] feedback, and put them to the test." This resulted in a new list, identifying two completely new behaviours (Nos. 9 and 10) and updating two others (Nos. 3 and 6). Here are the 10 behaviours of Google's best managers, along with some practical tips on how to develop these behaviours. (You can find more detailed advice on developing your management skills in my new book, EQ Applied: The Real-World Guide to Emotional Intelligence.)

Then it occurred to us — the New York Academy of Sciences has the World's Smartest Network®, why not put the question to our Members? So we invited some of our most extraordinary young and senior scientist Members, to offer their thoughts about what they believe could be the next generation of discoveries or the greatest challenge that science or technology must solve in the decades to come. The following is a selection of the many responses we received. They have been edited to fit space restrictions. All opinions cited are those of the authors named and do not necessarily reflect those of the editorial or scientific staff of the New York Academy of Sciences.

Here's what the landing looked like and how the US pulled it off.* Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touched down on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy put a monumental goal before Congress: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth," Kennedy said. "No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish." Indeed, it took eight years to reach the moon after that, and NASA burned through $25.4 billion dollars before the Apollo program was finished. But on July 20, 1969, as people throughout the world gathered around fuzzy television sets, astronaut Neil Armstrong announced: "the Eagle has landed." Here's how the US made it to the moon 49 years ago. Full story with pictures <https://www.businessinsider.in/NASA-astronauts-first-landed-on-the-moon-49-…> *How a Melting Arctic Changes Everything * Eight countries control land in the Arctic Circle. Five have coastlines to defend. The temperature is rising. The ice is melting. The race for newly accessible resources is beginning. And Russia is gaining ground. The story of the Arctic begins with temperature but it’s so much more—this is a tale about oil and economics, about humanity and science, about politics and borders and the emerging risk of an emboldened and growing Russian empire. The detailed story is presented in three parts at Part I: The Bare Arctic <https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-arctic/> Part II: The Political Arctic <https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-arctic/the-political-arctic/> Part III: The Economic Arctic <https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-arctic/the-economic-arctic/> *Forthcoming Events* *Call for Participation: Five Days Faculty Development Programme on Computing Research Methodology* Department of Computer Science and Applications, Sri Sankara Arts & Science College (Autonomous), Kanchipuram, TamilNadu is organising a Five Days Faculty Development Programme on Computing Research Methodology during 25-29 July 2018 at the College in Kanchipuram.
